Revealed earlier in August, Resident Evil.net will act as the online hub for Resident Evil 6, keeping track of player stats to compare with friends and leaderboards for the Mercenaries mode. It will also alert users to when friends are playing, making it easier to set up co-operative games.

In addition to stat tracking, Resident Evil.net will offer players unique challenges to complete in the game, providing exclusive character skins for the Mercenaries mode as a reward. Players will also be able to take part in global events, with one players chosen as the winner and recorded in the Resident Evil.net hall of fame.

Resident Evil.net will be accessible online in browsers, or through a dedicated app for iOS, Android and Windows Phones.

Resident Evil 6 will be available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 2. A PC release will follow, but has not yet been dated.
